Last year 2013 – 2014 our site had over 1 million hits and 150K regularly returning IP addresses in 70 countries worldwide. There was no SEO in place and we did not hit the radio to promote as we did in years past. Those numbers do not always translate across the board onto other social sites, but from our analysis we can see that there is a legitimate following here. So firstly we would like to thank everyone that has been rocking with us thus far.
This year our goal is to increase our market presence through continuous brand building campaigns. We have also picked up a SEO (search engine optimization) company with some social marketing strategies. There are some new potential projects for 2015 to be announced along with the existing, so it will be an interesting year. With the new promotions we would like to get back to doing events. To me this is what hip-hop looks like in 2015.
We would also like to share our audience with other artist and brands. When you’re an independent company you can do that. We know we have a strong presence in NC especially Charlotte so if anyone would like to submit their video or product advertisement for us to help promote we would consider it. You can send submissions to [email protected] I say all that to say this, don’t get discouraged because you may not get a million views on YouTube or a bunch of likes on Facebook etc., that does not mean that you don’t have an audience so keep grinding. #1

“The past 12 months featured a number of major news events that captivated the world — from the disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines jetliner to the spread of the Ebola virus — from all corners of the globe. Unrest in Ukraine and Israel also reached a climax as well as the threat from ISIS.” – ABC NEWS

BILTMORE RECORDS is proud to present a new music video for HAN-AN. The record is called “MADE IT OUT THE HOOD” and the song addresses the philosophy’s of piety and justice. Piety has to do with an individuals respect for his responsibilities to gods, country, parents, and kin. It suggests an introspective, self analyzing approach to justice because that like everything else in the universe starts within each individual.

“A vigil was held in Brooklyn Sunday to remember the two fallen New York Police Department officer. Rafael Ramos had just turned 40 and Wenjian Liu was 32 when Ismaaiyl Brinsley allegedly shot them in the back of the head as they were eating lunch in a patrol car. Brinsley, 28, who had a series of arrests in three states, claimed the shootings were revenge for the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams asked protesters to stop rallying until the slain policemen were put to rest. “We want to send a very clear and loud message that what happened yesterday was a strike at public safety and that which we hold dear,” he said. “We are asking all New Yorkers to turn this page into purpose. … All lives matter.” – Internationl Business Times

“Adrian Younge – a third of the group alongside hip-hop heavyweights DJ Premier and Royce da 5’9″ – kicked things off with a masterclass in breaks, breaks, breaks. Exclusive Premier breaks, original breaks from classic-era hip-hop history, breaks from Younge’s personal catalogue used on the PRhyme project; we had it all.” Boiler Room
